Letters Patent No. 61,430, dated January 22, 1867.

IMPROVEMENT IN MUFPS.

TO ALL WHQM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that we, Cumulus HoLLwEDn, and JULIUS BnznzrNsKY, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and useful improved Muff; and we do hereby declare the following to'be a full, clean` and exact description of the sanne, reference being had tothe accompanying drawings, (andto the letters of reference marked thercon,) in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view of the completed rnu.

Figure 2 is a longitudinal section of the same.

I A represents the skin or body of the muff; B the lining; D the wadding; C C the cord and tassels; F the ends of the muti' cognposed of fur.

Thetnatureof our invention consists in manufacturing a muil' of a skin or skins stretched and vformed on a, block, the edges of the skin being drawn over and formed on the ends of the block to any desired width;

and in forming the fur ends of the mulf partially or entirely of fur, with the tassels Cv Cv fastened O'n the fur, as shown on E, in figs. land 2.

` To enable others skilled in the art tol-make and use our invention, we will proceed' to describe our process of manufacture.

A block is'rst prepared of Va shape and size corresponding to that of the muil' to be manufactured. (A

skin, or more than one, if the size of the muif renders more than one-necessary,) is sewed together, then thoroughly wetted and stretched tightly around'the block, its edges left long enough to formover the ends of the block to a suihcient length, and then being securely fastened and-left to dry. When dry andremoved from the block the'skiu will be found to have received and will retain Athe shapeof the block, and' consequently of themu desired, and nothing remains but to t and insert the lining.

What we claim as our inventionfand desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

A fur muif having its ends turned and set upon a. former by means substantially as shown and' described.
